Chapter 19 Casting

The script was submitted for review some time ago.

Soon the news of Li Mu's new movie spread to everyone.Li Mu directly asked his secretary Liu Weijuan to release the competing roles.

The characters released this time are the male protagonist’s wife (female lead) and a mayoral candidate (male supporting actor).

For other roles, Li Mu personally invited and held interviews.

The next night after talking to Liu Dehua on the phone, the two had a meal.

Andy Lau acted according to the script, and Li Mu immediately chose the male lead.

Although Liu Dehua in later generations was labeled as a box office poison, I have to say that his acting skills are indeed outstanding.

Zeng Li came for the interview on the same day. This Chinese drama actor, Qing Yi, had a unique flavor playing the role of the villain police chief.

This beauty, who is said to have only appeared in Chinese dramas for 200 years, has always been tepid.

I heard that Lao Mouzi asked her to film "My Father and Mother", but she avoided it because of her strength.

Good guy, God brought the food to my mouth. I couldn't swallow it, but I achieved the international chapter.

As for the role of the youngest daughter, Li Mu directly gave it to child star Guan Xiaotong.

The remaining character, Li Mu, gave China Film some face. Li Mu took the lead, and China Film sent a casting director.

On the day of casting, many actresses came.Li Binbin, Fan Binbin, Zhou Xun, Liu Tao, Yu Feihong, etc. all took action after hearing the news.

Huayi is a bit shameless, and he wants to come over to take advantage of the role.

Li Mu sneered a little, but his expression didn't change much.

According to the interview arrangement, Fan Binbin was the first.

It was the first time for Li Mu to see this female star who was knocked down by "tax" in her previous life after her rebirth.Compared with the future Fan Haomen who has full aura, Fan Binbin at this time is still a little immature.

But this figure is really top-notch. In his previous life, Li Mu studied "Apple" a lot, and the scene of Tong Dajiao crashing behind him was like a wave after wave.

I think David will like this.

Fan Binbin's acting skills are remarkable, otherwise he would not be the Best Actress of Hundred Flowers in future generations.

Li Mu looked at the future Fan Bayi in front of him and took out the small note in his hand.The casting director next to him glanced at him, and his expression showed no abnormality at all.

The competition among actresses is really fierce.In his previous life, maybe Li Mu would have given it a try. This entertainment industry is really mind-blowing.

The note was handed to him by secretary Liu Weijuan. In other words, Fan Binbin asked Liu Weijuan to give it to him.The contemptuous look before leaving made Li Mu want to fire this secretary who wanted to rebel.

And Li Mu still had three such notes in his hand.

Li Mu originally watched with great interest, but then he realized that one of them was a man.

Li Mu instantly felt sick and was so sick.

Just ask Liu Weijuan to tell him to get out of here, what the hell.
And let Mengying Media be blacklisted. Li Mu doesn't want to be disgusted by this guy again.

"You are too young, you are not suitable." After watching Fan Binbin's acting, Li Mu said directly.The casting director next to me didn't say anything, he was just a tool.

Fan Binbin was a little dazed. This character was only about 30 years old. She put on makeup to look older, which was completely suitable.

However, Fan Binbin was not a brainless person. He bowed and said thank you and left.

Li Binbin was the second interviewer.

"You are too old, you are not suitable." Li Mu said directly.

Li Binbin was stunned for a moment, but she didn't push too hard. She just mentioned that Zhou Xun was similar in age to her and turned around to leave.

This shocked Li Mu and the casting directors present.

Although there were rumors of conflicts between the two, it was too obvious.

Li Mu's eyes were opened. The lotus of future generations is well-deserved.

Zhou Xun finally conducted the interview.

Zhou Xun's acting skills are indeed very explosive. If Li Mu and Hua Yi didn't have conflicts, they might have decided to cast her directly.

Zhou Xun didn't care about Li Mu's rejection, but asked him if Li Binbin was elected.

Li Mu was a little speechless. He knew that this sister was here to intercept Li Binbin's resources.Sure enough, we are not a family, we don’t enter the same family.

What can I say about Liu Tao's acting skills?Acting as Bai. It's okay, this is almost meaningless.

In the end, Li Mu and the casting director settled on Yu Feihong, the Nortel senior sister.Now this senior sister has not yet transformed into a director, and is probably still polishing the script of her "Love Is Afterlife". This literary disease is difficult to cure.

As for the male actors, Li Mu watched the performances of these people and chose Zhang Songwen, who was recognized by everyone as having good acting skills but was not suitable for the director.

A typical cheap product, Zhang Songwen is also Pastor Li's brother after all, and he is still working as an acting teacher in school.

In the same situation, the fertilizer and water must flow into the family's fields, so how can the arms be turned outward?

At this point, the main characters of Manslaughter have been decided, and Li Mu asked his secretary to announce the list of characters.

"Manslaughter": Director (Li Mu), male lead (Liu Dehua), female lead (Yu Feihong), second female lead (Zeng Li), main supporting actors (Zhou Yang, Zhu Yawen, Zhang Songwen, Guan Xiaotong)

As soon as the character list came out, major media rushed to report that this was Li Mu's first film to win the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay.

The crew will move to Xiangjiang for filming to avoid risks.The plot involves some sensitive areas, but Li Mu tried his best to avoid unnecessary trouble.

For this reason, Li Mu asked Liu Dehua to help make arrangements.

"Xiao Muzi, are you going to Xiangjiang to film a movie tomorrow?" Liu Yifei bit her Coke straw and murmured.

"The filming was successfully completed in more than two months. If you are free, you can come and visit us."

"Aren't there any guest roles? If so, I'll give you a guest role. After all, I'm quite a star now."

"That's really not the case. I'm sorry, Sissy." Li Mu felt a little sorry for Liu Yifei. After all, it was okay to give the role of Zhou Yang to Liu Yifei, but for some reason Li Mu didn't give it to her.

"Okay then, you guys have to come back for the premiere of "High School Musical"."

Liu Yifei reminded Li Mu that "High School Musical" will premiere at the end of June, Li Mu's first domestic film.

"Wait a minute, Sissi" Li Mu suddenly shouted.

Liu Yifei turned around in confusion and saw Li Mu squatting down and tying a bow on the loose laces of Liu Yifei's white shoes.

Looking at the boy in front of her who was tying her shoes, Liu Yifei's face was flushed, the corners of her mouth curved into a crescent moon, and a hint of fascination flashed in her eyes.

The next day, Li Mu rushed to Xiangjiang with the crew.

I also hired a fortune teller to calculate a good and auspicious day for the boot time.

Everyone in Xiangjiang believed this, and Li Mu also followed the local customs and held a magic startup ceremony.

"Manslaughter", the most outstanding aspect of this drama is the concept of changing time. In order to achieve this effect, Li Mu also asked Liu Dehua to test this method in his daily life, just to adapt to the time being changed. The feeling of stealing.

The most realistic acting is when you don't feel like you are acting, as if you are doing it every day.

In Li Mu's crew, the first rule is that no filming is allowed, no matter what the reason is.

This is also the basic requirement for movies by all top directors.

The filming of the movie went smoothly, except for the slightly inferior acting skills of young people such as Zhou Yang and Zhu Yawen.

The others are all seasoned actors, and when they act like crazy, Li Mu says it's a lot of fun.

Sure enough, we had to hire a bunch of veteran actors to film the movie, so it was easy to shoot and it was fun to watch.

Zhou Yang and Zhu Yawen usually have a good relationship with Yu Feihong and Zhang Songwen. They are both from Nortel, so they naturally have a close feeling.

Yu Feihong and Zhang Songwen are also willing to share their daily experiences and acting methods with the younger generations.

Zhou Yang and Zhu Yawen grew up very quickly in this drama.

Unconsciously, more than half of the plot of "Manslaughter" was completed, and at this time, China Film Group got a call.

The preheating of "High School Musical" started half a month ago. Due to the previous wave of black-handed promotion, the preheating effect looks quite good.

Before the warm-up, Li Mu gave a special lesson to the publicity team to accurately target the box office consumer groups. "High School Musical" is the main focus of youth groups, and the positioning is clear.

The age group of parents with children is not within Li Mu's consideration for the time being. The influence of black material will not be eliminated so quickly and needs to be driven by word of mouth.

On June 6.27th, Li Mu officially left Xiangjiang with Zhu Yawen and Zhou Yang.

In order not to affect the overall progress, Li Mu asked the deputy director of the crew to be responsible for the shooting of some other unimportant scenes.
